Denver Headache

Monday, November 29th, 2010

Care ChiropracticHeadaches can be caused by many factors.  The most common cause of headache is a bone out of place in the neck, (or sub-lux-a-tion).  Here is an interesting testimonial from a professional wrestler.

“Before I started with Care Chiropractic, I had severe headaches and low energy.  I found it hard to do my daily activities or even help with my children.  I’m a pro wrestler and could hardly complete my wrestling training. 

Since I’ve started care, I have a lot of energy and the ability to keep up with my children. I have preformed better in the wrestling ring and at the gym.  Even my marriage has been better since my visits.  I can now walk straight, no more headaches, and the pain in my knees has gone away.  I have even started to jog.”  -S. C.

Bones in the neck can move out of position due to slips, jerks, jolts, exertion, fatigue, and heredity factors.  If the bones pinch nerves that go to the head we experience headache, and many other problems including dizziness, irritability, fatigue, nausea, blurred vision, loss of memory, and loss of concentration.

If you’re experiencing a Denver headache, call our center now (303) 394-CARE (2273).

Blaming The Victim

Monday, August 9th, 2010

When doctors can’t help people they get frustrated and all too often, blame the patient.  It’s terrible when this happens because patients deserve better.  Here is a fascinating testimonial from a patient that was thrown out of many doctors’ offices.

“I have suffered from severe headaches and back pain for four years.  I was told there was nothing that could be done for me.  When I first came to see Dr. Visentin I had a migraine that was so severe that I was nauseous.  My doctors had refused to see me as of October and the pain was intolerable.  Since I have been seeing Dr. V., I have experienced pain-free days, which I have not experienced in four years and the improvements have happened in just a few weeks.  While other doctors have claimed that there is nothing they can do for me, Dr. V. has helped.  This is a breakthrough and I thank God for putting Dr. Visentin in my life.” – S. Salinas 

If your doctor refuses to even see you, or just doesn’t seem to listen, don’t give up hope!  You can get a proper examination to see if our techniques may help for FREE.  Mention this article and call (303) 394-CARE (2273).

3 Natural Ways to Get Rid of Your Headaches

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

In our Denver Headache Health Center we always promote these 3 natural and effective ways to help get rid of your headaches.

1. Drink plenty of water – Dehydration is often the cause of headaches. Before you reach for the bottle of Aspirin, make sure you are well hydrated! So how much water should you be drinking? Drink half your weight in ounces of water each day. For example, a 150 pound person would divide their weight in half and drink 75 ounces of water per day. One easy way to do this is to get a large water bottle with ounce measurements on the side. Fill it up and take it with you throughout your day. If you do not have a water bottle with measurements, there are 8 ounces in one cup of water. Divide your total daily ounces by 8 and that is how many cups of water you should be drinking everyday!

What Is A TMJ Headache?

Monday, July 12th, 2010

According to the American Dental Association about 60 million Americans have temporomandibular joint syndrome or TMJS.  The symptoms include headaches, sore jaw joint, difficulty chewing and talking.

Muscular and structural irregularities in the jaw caused by stress, trauma, and dental problems can aggravate the jaw joint.  The jaw is very sensitive because of the amount of nerves that go there. 

 Many of our patients swear by gentle adjustments to the jaw that actually relieve headaches.  To see if you qualify for this kind of care, call (303) 394-CARE (2273).  Adjustments realign the jawbone and create normal healthful movements.
